In this week's episode, Matt Way and David Fernandez discuss some of the NBA's not-so-good teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, and your Detroit Pistons. They take a look at what got these teams where they are, and if there is any hope (or desire) for the these teams to climb out from the league's basement floor.

Will the Rockets move Oladipo? What's wrong in Sacramento? And are the Cavaliers truly a bottom-four team? All of that will be discussed, along some more Detroit-centric topics, like...

What our thoughts are on Detroit's current point guard rotation - will the Pistons re-sign Dennis Smith Jr? And how impressed are we with Saben Lee?

Whether or not we'd like to see Josh Jackson moved into the starting lineup.
